Lenvatinib and Pembrolizumab With or Without SBRT for Metastatic Kidney Cancer
Official title: A Randomized Phase 2 Trial of Lenvatinib Plus Pembrolizumab With or Without Stereotactic Radiation Therapy in Patients With Clear-cell Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma, Low Tumor Burden, and Stable Disease.
Run by Kidney Cancer Research Bureau · NCT07928167 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether adding SBRT to standard lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab helps people with metastatic kidney cancer who have stable disease after initial treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with histologically confirmed metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma, measurable disease, sum of target lesions ≤ 7 cm, ECOG 0-2, and no prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with rapid progression on induction therapy, uncontrolled comorbidities, prior SBRT to planned targets, active autoimmune disease, or symptomatic CNS metastases may not benefit.

What this trial studies
In patients with metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma, the combination of lenvatinib and pembrolizumab has shown activity. This phase 2 trial first gives all eligible participants 12 weeks of therapy, then randomizes those with stable disease to receive either SBRT to up to three lesions in addition to the standard drugs or the drugs alone. The primary endpoint is the objective response rate of unirradiated lesions after randomization, with secondary aims including safety and overall outcomes. The study is multicenter and supervised by a multidisciplinary team to select irradiation targets. Eligible participants have measurable disease, no prior systemic therapy for metastasis, and good performance status.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, adding SBRT could increase tumor responses and potentially improve survival for patients who respond to initial therapy.
How similar studies have gone: Previous data suggest that focused radiotherapy to lesions during systemic therapy may boost responses, supporting exploration in this randomized setting.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years. * Histologically confirmed clear-cell renal cell carcinoma. * Presence of measurable lesions per RECIST 1.1. * Sum of diameters of target lesions ≤ 7 cm. * ECOG 0-2. * No prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease. Exclusion Criteria: * Uncontrolled comorbidities that preclude the use of TKI/IO or SBRT. * Prior SBRT to the lesions planned for irradiation, rendering re-irradiation unsafe. * Active autoimmune diseases requiring systemic immunosuppressants. * Symptomatic CNS metastases (patients with asymptomatic metastases may be included).
